HDR in Photoshop
Well, a few days ago I decided I wanted to learn about High Dynamic Range (or HDR), which basically enables a higher contrast between the light and dark in an image. So, I took it upon myself to find out how to do it, and I found out that it was easier than I had thought. All you have to do is set your digital SLR (not sure how to do it on a point and shoot) to “Auto Bracketing” which takes a number of pictures with different exposure times, take the pictures, open them in Photoshop, and go to File>Automate>Merge to HDR. Not only can you use HDR to make images have better contrast, you can use them to make cool effects, like this:

You can get some pretty cool effects with just a single RAW image, although it isn’t true HDR. Even if you use multiple images, it’s a lot better to work with raw images rather than jpgs.
